MAKING PLUNGE CUTS
1. For a straight cut first loosen front and rear bevel lock knobs (4 and 12) and
swivel the Plunge Saw to 0° position on the scale. Tighten the front and rear
bevel lock knobs again. (Refer to “Set cutting depth” and "Set cutting angle"
section)
2. Rotate the mode selector (18) to free plunge position or scribe mode
for a scribe cut. (Refer to “Mode selection” section)
3. Set the desired plunge depth. Ensure that the guide rail track compensation
(15) is down. (Refer to “Set cutting depth” and section)
4. Check that the track lock (9) and anti-kickback knob (8) are in the ‘0
’
position.
5. Engage the front of the saw in the track.
6. Hold the saw firmly with both hands, press the plunge lock button (1) and the
ON/OFF switch (2). (S)
7. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then pivot the saw forward to plunge the
blade into the workpiece to the set depth.
8. Push the saw forward along the track to engage the blade with the
workpiece and start the cut.
9. Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may put excessive strain on the
motor. Avoid any sudden movements of the saw.
10. Make your cut, again using the cutting width indicators as a guide to when
to raise the saw from the workpiece.
11. After completing the cut, release the ON/OFF switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the track.
WARNING ! Check that the workpiece and track are
properly supported and secured so that
movement cannot occur whilst the saw is in operation.
• Always hold the machine with both hands using the
main handle (3) and auxiliary handle (17).
• Always push the saw forwards. NEVER pull the saw
backwards towards you.
• Wear all safety equipment required to use this tool.
See ‘Safety’ section.
• Ensure that the guide rail track compensation (15) is
down when using the saw with track.
